Glossing the Great Tradition

[retroGRAD3]

I second that definition.

If this is in fact a good definition, then I will file the GT under it (meaning for my own sake and how I should approach the topic). I think this would be a good statement to put forth by the group. Maybe it already has and I missed it somewhere. If that is the case, I apologize.

Maybe sola scriptura shouldn't be seen as allowing any possible position. For example, if someone were to say, based upon Scripture alone, that God is so omnipotent he could make a world in which he does not exist, then I would say he is wrong. I don't really care what verses he could marshal to the contrary.

Not sure there would be an issue here because the scriptures state that God is omnipotent, but also that he doesn't contradict himself. You could use philosophy to argue against the opponents position, but I believe you could also use the Bible to show that he is in error.

Edit: I do understand the point you are trying to make though. I will try not to get stuck on the specific example.
